Chapter 993 - Shall We Take Part In This Test?
Sister Orb immediately contacted Rean. [Do you want me to help with the analysis? If we work together, it should be much easier to deactivate them without causing damage.]
Rean shook his head as he moved to the formations ahead. 'No. I already have the Circuitry Runes. If I need help on top of that, then I don't deserve to win this test to start with. Besides, I'm very curious to see how the Realm of Gods' formations that use Divine Energy work. This is a great opportunity.'
[Well, if you say so...]
Although over thirty thousand participants could be found in the assembling, not all of them participated in all categories. The Formation Master test, for example, had only a little over two thousand of them. Without a doubt, the categories that got most of the participants were the battle-related ones.
With that being said, these formations available for the test were way more than all of them could deactivate together in just eight hours. Let alone eight hours, even eight days might not be enough.
*Wow!* As soon as Rean arrived at one of the formations, he heard a commotion from the side. Soon after, the same thing happened in a few places around him. 'Golden-level Formation Masters, huh? Well, it makes sense that they deactivated their first formations this fast. After all, they went for the types of formations they were best at first.'
Rean then smiled as he looked at a Lightning-type formation beneath his feet. Rean could understand the whole structure, even though it used Divine Energy instead of Spiritual Energy. However, Rean didn't deactivate it straight away. 'Let's take a good look at the runes used in this guy. This seems to be a Lightning Current Formation, probably used to charge some other defensive type that needs Lightning Element.'
As the Formation Masters continued to deactivate the formations, Rean spent an entire minute in that Lightning one. Compared to the majority present, that was already a huge waste of time as the formations at the forefront were low-level ones. Eventually, Rean deactivated the Lightning Current Formation before he looked at the next ones. 'Sure enough, the further you go into this spatial room, the harder the formations become.'
Rean didn't mind, though. Instead, he went to the next formation, a concealing type. Once again, because this was one of the first formations at the forefront, Rean could deactivate it straight away if he wanted to. There wasn't even a need to use the Circuitry Runes for that. However... 'Oh, this one is also interesting. The mist generated by Divine Energy is a lot more restrictive than if it used Spiritual Energy. I see, I see...so this arrangement of runes works better with Divine Energy, which would be a waste if it was used with Spiritual Energy.'
Another minute or so passed until Rean finally began to draw a few common runes with his Spiritual Energy. A moment later, the formation was deactivated, completely undamaged. 'So many interesting arrangements. Let's continue.'
Outside the Formation Master competition, Kayla's group found Rean's performance quite lacking. "Wasn't Rean a Silver Middle-level Formation Master? How come he's even falling behind the Bronze-level ones?"
The others shook their heads. "We don't know. Perhaps Rean was lying about his level?"
Cynthia pondered over it for a bit before saying, "He did come from somewhere else in the Realm of Gods, and a very far away place on top of that. Maybe the formations back in his home were different?"
Cynthia's words made sense, and it was indeed the truth. Those formations were different than the ones Rean was used to seeing. It's just that he could still be much faster but wanted to study them one by one first.
Time passed, and two hours quickly went by.
At the moment, the Formation Master Guild Leader from Cosec City had a dark expression on his face. That's because his best Formation Master disciple was starting to fall behind in comparison to another Formation Master that wasn't part of his guild.
"Hahaha! Zil, it seems like my Rumira Merchant Organization is going to take this Divine Vein." As mentioned before, all the main powers in Cosec City were invited to the assembly. That included sects, guilds, and anyone who had a certain amount of power as a group. Naturally, merchant organizations could take part in it as they had the money to contract experts to fight for them.
"Hmph!" Zil quickly calmed down. "This is just the start. There are six more hours ahead, Miame. I hope your Formation Master won't tire himself to death before time is up."
Nevertheless, he felt a little helpless. 'If the age restriction was raised to sixty years, I would have a much better Formation Master available to use. This restriction truly caught us by surprise. Although Gluxin reached the Golden Initial-level in time for the competition, he's just way too new to it. Let alone the Rumira Merchant Organization, he might even lose to the other powers as well.' In the end, he silently sighed to himself. 'Our chances of getting this Divine Vein in this assembly is very small.' Of course, he kept those thoughts to himself.
Meanwhile, Rean was having the time of his life. 'Oh!!! This is so ingenious! I definitely could apply this array of runes to my communication system later. If I add the Router Formation Runes to them, it would improve the stability of the current by at least 5%!'
The formations obviously kept increasing in difficulty. Rean had deactivated 97 so far, but he still damaged 3 of them, losing 9 points. That left Rean with 88 points total within these two hours. Let alone the Silver-level Formation Masters, Rean was even behind most Bronze Peak-level ones.
Outside, the Qianbel Sect Leader was cursing himself because of that. 'Fuck! If I knew he was that bad, I would have let my disciples take part in this test.'
Little did they know, but Rean only damaged those formations because he was trying to study them better. If he only needed to deactivate them, he would have done so without causing any damage whatsoever.
Soon, four hours of the test had gone by. Rean had achieved 167 points so far. The leaders, the Golden-level Formations Masters, all had more than 300 points, with the first place having 375 in total. However, it was at this moment that Rean got up from another formation and stretched his back. 'This was really fun.' He then looked into the distance and saw how far the leaders were before smiling. Suddenly, Circuitry Runes began to take form on Rean's hands as he thought to himself.. 'Now then. Shall we truly take part in this test?'
